Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, an aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, for
declaring himself as the National Chairman of PDP.
Gulak, the former Special Adviser to Jonathan on Political Matters, on
Wednesday at the PDP secretariat, said he had assumed office as PDP
national chairman following a court ruling.
But in a communique issued by the forum after its meeting held late on
Wednesday in Abuja and signed by the Director General of the forum, Earl
Osaro, the forum said the party constitution provides for due process to
be followed.
“The invasion of the party headquarters on Wednesday by Ahmed Gulak, who
reportedly assumed the Chairmanship of the PDP, is regrettable and
condemnable
“We take cognisance of the judgment by the court in Abuja which ordered
the acting chairman to vacate office for any other person from the
North-East zone of Nigeria.
“Our party constitution has enough provisions for that and the necessary
process has been put in motion,” the Communique stated.
It stated that the appropriate organs of the party would meet soonest to
elect a national chairman of the party from the appropriate zone.
The forum congratulated Chief Nyesom Wike and Mr Dave Umahi, the governors
of Rivers and Ebonyi respectively, over the affirmation of their
elections’ victory by the Supreme Court on Wednesday
